A new study reveals that a protein previously thought to only provide structural support for DNA is also directly involved in regulating gene expression.
Cornell University researchers have made a fundamental breakthrough in understanding how genetic information is expressed. A cell protein previously believed to only provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA – the first step of the process by which an organism's genetic code expresses itself. This finding, published Dec.
20 in Plant Cell, was co-authored by Cornell researchers and colleagues from the University of California, Davis, and Shandong Agricultural University in Shandong, China
